Teacher quality is the most important in-school factor affecting student achievement and success. The quality of teacher preparation has a great impact on teachers and students. Our students are losing ground educationally compared to other nations.

Great teachers matter
Students learn more from effective teachers
Teachers in the top 20 percent of performance generate
five to six more months of student learning each year
than low-performing teachers.

Great teachers matter
Students learn more from effective teachers
According to a Tennessee study, the difference in
student achievement gains between being assigned a
“less effective” teacher and being assigned a “more
effective” teacher is roughly the equivalent of a student
moving from the 50th percentile to about the 69th
percentile in mathematics, and from the 50th percentile
to about the 63rd percentile in reading.

Turnover and shortages
Challenges of the teaching profession
High-poverty schools experience substantial rates
of turnover each year:
– In 2012-13, an estimated 148,000 teachers in high-
poverty schools either changed schools or left
teaching altogether
Principals are roughly 10 percentage points more
likely to report serious difficulties filling math and
science vacancies than English vacancies
Research suggests that we have more than
enough qualified teachers in reading and language
arts, but not enough qualified math and science
teachers to compensate for teacher turnover
19.
Turnover and shortages
Challenges of the teaching profession
20.
The challenge:
State reporting
and accountability
for teacher preparation
programs are weak
21.
The state of teacher
Weak state accountability systems
Historically, state accountability systems have
been based on high licensure exam pass rates
and program inputs – not student outcomes
In 2011, just 12 states identified low-performing
or at-risk teacher preparation programs
Over the last twelve years of available data, 34
states have never identified a teacher
preparation program as low- performing or at-
risk

The road ahead:
New regulations will build

improving teacher
training
24.
Proposed regulations
Key provisions and How they compare to CAEP
NPRM CAEP
Student outcomes: Academic gains among K-12
as demonstrated through measures of student growth,
performance on state or local teacher evaluation measures that
include data on student growth, or both, during their first three
teaching years
Employment outcomes: Job placement and
retention, including in high-need schools
Customer satisfaction: Surveys of program
graduates and their principals
Program review and accreditation based on
content/pedagogical knowledge, high quality
clinical practice, and rigorous entry/exit
Multiple performance levels resulting from
review and accreditation
Flexibility to states and providers in developing
24 measures of performance
25.
Proposed regulations
Accelerating vital change
Unlike current reporting requirements, which focus
almost exclusively on inputs, the proposed regulations
set forth meaningful outcome indicators for reporting on
teacher preparation programs.
States would have enormous flexibility for determining
the specific measures used and evaluating program
performance.
Provide key information on the performance of all
teacher preparation programs.
Create a new feedback loop among programs and
prospective teachers, employers, and the public.
Empower programs with better information to facilitate
continuous improvement.
26.
Proposed regulations
Key features
Performance reporting at the program, rather than
institutional, level
States would use a minimum of four performance levels for
programs: exceptional, effective, at-risk or low-performing.
Significant flexibility for states, including in setting performance
thresholds and additional performance categories or indicators
Requiring states to engage and consult with a broad range of
stakeholders, including teacher preparation programs as well as
school leaders and teachers
Requiring states to report on rewards or consequences
associated with each performance level and provide technical
assistance to low-performing programs
Refocusing TEACH Grant eligibility on programs identified as
effective or higher
Ensuring STEM programs can be eligible for TEACH Grant
27.
Better reporting systems
States linking student learning and teacher prep programs
RTT/Flex and other states RTT/Flex states that States using student
that currently are linking (or currently are linking (or plan achievement data to hold
plan to link) student growth to link) student growth and teacher preparation
and teacher evaluation to teacher evaluation accountable (NCTQ)
teacher prep (SLDS)
